I have 2x USB-C, 1X USB-A, and HDMI plugged in. To be perfectly honest, I don't really know how much battery I would lose - the laptop is rarely untouched for more than a day or so…

Typing this on 12th gen running Fedora, and I have none of the issues you describe. I've been daily driving this laptop for 2 years, and my only complaint is the mediocre battery l…

Fun project. You might be interested in belt presses - they can be hooked directly to the grinder reducing the time (and labor) of moving the pulp to the press. They also allow the…

If I recall correctly, I had issues primarily with more complicated documents, and mostly due to some RStudio "project" and file path configuration issues - I would have to look to…

Some functionality has been tied to RStudio's concept of a "project" ( https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200526207-Usin... ). I have had several documents authored by o…

Funny thing is this has actually motivated me to move away from using rmarkdown. To the point that I went "backwards" and wrote several reports and an academic paper in Sweave afte…

I've been using Rmarkdown and knitr for a long while, and have watched its evolution over the years (roughly 8 years now). As someone who does not use RStudio, it's become a bit of…

While I agree with many of the negative comments here about issues with how this is implemented, the tone of some comments is... not great. To the point that I would be reluctant t…

Every time I think code readability isn't important, I am inevitably proven wrong. Either I need to go back months later and need to figure out what I did, or I end up sharing with…

This. My first thought was "I hope I never encounter code that uses this." It's interesting as a proof of concept, but it makes your R code difficult to understand to 99.9% of R pr…

Fallow fields are essential to maintaining soil health, a successful practice going back 10k years. Additionally, some of the "barren" fields are actually being used to alternate c…

So, in my grad program in ag, we had a Bay-area ML startup come in to give a seminar on how they were revolutionizing agriculture. The presented their findings on how to increase y…

One last thing - to be a successful farmer has very little to do with growing crops. Take business classes - the rest is relatively easy to figure out.

Hi - coming from a PhD in agriculture (focus on sustainable ag), graduate level courses are going to be tough to jump into unless you have a strong background in ecology. Most of m…

You probably can grow them (you can "grow" a potato in a cup of water on your counter), but probably not profitably. Potatoes have a fairly low commodity price relative to their li…

My PhD is in sustainable agriculture, and I have 18+ years experience in both field and greenhouse ag. Ironically, unlike many here, I went from agriculture to data science/program…

I think it would be more accurate to say "deviate from R's typical use." I use Rscript all the time. I was taught to use it by one of R's developers. While not typical, it is absol…

"I know what is easier to teach, understand and use" I think this really depends on the end point. If you want to learn to read data into R and do basic manipulations, plotting, mo…

This is not entirely true - many are of the same "generation" as me. To be clear, I don't actually consider myself an advanced user. To me, many of these advanced users are pushing…

I teach and consult on R and data science. I had the privilege of learning R from one of R's core developers. My students often ask why I don't use the Tidyverse. The answer is bec…
